SECTION 1 - HOW THE SEARCHLIGHT WORKS

The RCL-600A was specially designed for mariners who require a high intensity remote controlled searchlight that can

stand up to the tough marine environment.

The RCL-600A is a xenon arc searchlight that produces six (6) million peak candle power. All functions of the RCL-600A

can be electrically operated by remote control from the pilot area of the vessel. A remote control panel is supplied with the

RCL-600A. An optional slave remote control panel is available (ACR Product No. 1942).

The sleek design and modern construction of the searchlight body makes it attractive for recreational and

commercial vessels. The searchlight is totally enclosed and is made of rugged aluminum alloy. It is gasketed and finished

to be resistant to the weather.

SECTION 3 - INSTALLATION

3.1 Wiring the unit

The RCL-600A Remote Control Searchlight consists of searchlight unit and a master remote control panel. The user must

supply the cable and/or wire to power the unit (see Appendix A for Cable Selection Tables). The source must be a fused

24 VDC, 10 amp supply (product number 1941) or a fused 12 VDC, 20 amp supply (product number 1943). This cable is

to be attached to the searchlight as shown in the connection diagram. See Figure 1.

CAUTION: Observe polarities when attaching wires!

3.2 Mounting the remote control panel (master)

The remote control panel can be mounted where desired using appropriate marine grade mounting hardware. For water-

resistant installation, some type of gasketing (neoprene sheet, silicone sealant, etc.) must be used. In all cases, the

remote control panel should be mounted in a protected area. Refer to Figure 2 for mounting and wiring details.

Figure 2

Y1-03-0139H 6

3.3 Wiring of remote control panel

The remote control panel is shipped with a 6-foot (1.83-meter) long, 20 AWG cable. The cable will be attached to the

searchlight and should be connected to the corresponding contacts on the remote control panel based on the wire color.

Refer to Figure 3.

3.4 Installing the searchlight

The searchlight can be mounted where desired, using 3/8" length stainless steel fasteners. Keep navigational aids,

antennas, etc., out of the beam path of the light. It is recommended to mount antennas 10 feet (3.05 meters) above the

light, at a minimum. Be sure the 4 nylon shoulder washers, supplied with the searchlight, have been inserted in the

searchlight base mounting holes to prevent a galvanic reaction between the mounting hardware and the base of the

searchlight. Also make sure that the mounting base gasket is securely in place before bolting down. Silicone grease

should be applied to the bottom of the gasket to help in waterproofing the unit.

When mounting, be sure that the unit is able to rotate 360° without hitting any obstructions. Refer to Figure 4 for mounting

details. Mount unit so that the ID label on the mounting base faces forward. This is the home position when light is reset.

See instructions on controls. See Section 4.2 for bulb installation.

CAUTION: The searchlight is not designed for inverted mounting.

CAUTION: Xenon-Arc lights emit electromagnet radiation, which may interfere with some communication or

navigation systems mounted on board.

The preferred location for communication and navigation equipment system antennas is at least 3 meters directly above

the light.

After the light is installed, all critical communication and navigation systems should be checked for proper operation with

the light turned ON and rotated in all directions.

3.5 Installing a second remote control panel (slave)

The second remote control panel is optional. This section refers to Product No. 1942 only.

The second Remote Control Panel may be mounted similarly to the first. The second remote control panel is wired parallel

to the first remote control panel. Connect cable to sockets on back of control panels. The master panel should have cable

plugged into top socket row 2. The slave panel should have the cable plugged into bottom socket row 1 (refer to Figure 5).

SECTION 5- CARE AND MAINTENANCE

5.1 General care

The RCL-600A is relatively maintenance free. Clean the exterior of the light with a mild detergent and water if

desired. Rotate the light left, then right and up then down periodically to keep motors and turning surfaces clean

and operational.

WARNING: DO NOT rotate the light manually. This will strip the gear rack.
